Chapter 154 Hosting the Bone and Blood Colossus
Chapter 154 Hosting the Bone and Blood Colossus
This giant corpse tree seems to be providing nutrients for the girl.
After realizing this, the two of them looked at the girl with a little more vigilance.
But at this moment, a line of prompts appeared in their sight.
[Do you want to consume 10 wax oils to awaken the "human girl in the corpse tree"? ]
What does it mean?
Could it be that this girl is a hidden boss, but needs wax to awaken her?
"Never mind, let's try it first." Gua Gua made a decision quickly and went forward to consume ten points of wax oil.
Soon, wax dripped onto the girl's forehead and her cries for help gradually faded.
After a moment, she opened her eyes.
But his eyes seemed a little abnormal, as if he had some mental problems.
And her subsequent behavior was even stranger.
She stood up slowly, without any intention of talking to the two of them, and just stared blankly at a certain place.
Then, she began to walk slowly in that direction with staggering steps.
Seeing such a strange scene, Tianji and Guagua looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"She is so weird..." Gua Gua frowned.
Then she walked up, grabbed the girl directly, patted her shoulder and called her.
Tianji watched silently from the side, but his body was tense all the time.
But the girl obviously didn't react at all.
Moreover, even if they stopped it and called out to it, it showed no intention of returning to normal and just tried to move forward towards the target direction.
"This...Is she an NPC or a monster?"
Both of them were very puzzled by the girl's strange behavior and didn't know what to do.
"Forget it, let's follow and see."
After weighing the pros and cons, the two decided to follow the girl, since the guidance of the spirit candle also came from this direction.
……
Compared to the relatively mild choices made by Gua Gua and his buddy, some players’ choices are completely different.
After confirming that most of the Corpse Forest was filled with corpse trees and parasites.
Niu Niu and Mushroom arrived here even earlier than anyone else.
After following the cry for help to the giant corpse tree and rescuing the girl from the corpse tree.
Looking at her strange behavior, Niu Niu touched his chin.
next moment.
Mushroom on the side didn't even have time to react before he saw in horror that Niu Niu raised his hand towards the girl's back and immediately released an explosion of fire.
Bang!
In an instant, a huge explosion occurred, and a pile of half-burned flesh and blood lay on the ground.
[You killed the human girl in the corpse tree]
[Obtained: Sorrow of the Hosted]
[Obtained: Ina's Last Words]
"Ahem..." Mushroom looked at the pile of meat paste, extremely shocked: "What the hell is wrong with you? Why did you kill the NPC?"
In response to this, Niu Niu still had a thoughtful look on his face, and even reached out to lift the blood mud to confirm whether the girl was dead.
"Of course, to see what will happen if we kill this NPC." Niu Niu responded while stirring up the blood mud.
With the introduction of world chat, players can communicate much faster when doing dungeons.
Niu Niu naturally also learned one thing from other players, that is, the NPC in this tree is not unique like the firewood gatherer or the firewood stealer, but exists in every copy.
Niu Niu turned to look at him: "Don't worry, there are some in every copy."
"Then you can't just kill people casually, right?" Mushroom still frowned.
"Human?" Niu Niu was a little surprised: "The corpse trees before were full of disgusting face huggers. You actually think this thing that also came out of the corpse tree is a human?"
"Just because she looks like a human and can speak a few words asking for help?"
“…” Hearing what he said, Mushroom suddenly fell silent.
Indeed, from a realistic point of view, this girl can't be a normal NPC at all.
From the perspective of the game, there is nothing wrong with Niu Niu. The only thing wrong may be that he made the decision without consulting him.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Niu Niu smiled.
"Maybe she will be an important plot character in this instance."
"But for me, as long as the game doesn't restrict me, I have to give it a try!"
"Anyway, many people have already followed her forward, so I might as well try to kill it early."
After Niu Niu finished speaking, he started to check the items dropped after killing the girl.
The Sorrow of the Host is a thing that looks like a tree root with hard tendrils growing on it. It looks quite strange.
【The sorrow of the host】
[Type: Special Items]
[Effect: After using the flames of war to burn them out, special damage can be caused to specific enemies. ]
[Explanation: The pathetic victim, even after death, the sorrow in his heart has not dissipated.]
And [Ina's Last Words] was a light blue light as warm as a feather. The moment it touched Niu Niu's palm, it was automatically triggered and began to dissipate.
Along with it came a whispered thank you.
"Thanks……"
"You...be careful..."
[You have obtained "Ina's lingering power", which lasts for 10 minutes]
[Ina's lingering power: You have received Ina's help. For a period of time, the host creature will not be able to host you before you die. ]
"..."
After reading this, Niu Niu suddenly fell silent.
"Let you be alive, and people will still help you even if they die." Mushroom also sneered at this time.
At this moment, accompanied by the shaking of the earth, a sharp laugh suddenly came.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
call--
The terrifying shrill laughter, accompanied by strong sound waves, blew over one corpse tree after another.
Some of the more fragile corpse trees even broke into two pieces with a snap.
The two of them subconsciously started a war to resist, thus avoiding further damage.
But the impact of this shrill laughter is obviously more than that.
puff!puff!
As if guided by something, one parasitic worm after another violently burst out of their parasitic sacs and began to gather together.
Then, something mind-boggling happened.
One parasitic insect after another bit each other and drilled into each other's bodies madly.
In just a moment, a large number of parasites that were trying to parasitize each other died, and black blood mud flowed down.
"good chance!"
Niu Niu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
The things that girl dropped just now did make him feel a little guilty, but not much.
He will have less psychological burden when beating these parasites.
He didn't care what the bugs were doing.
If this copy is scrapped, he will have to reset it, and this is a good opportunity to brush up on the wax oil!
Soon, Niuniu, who had been transferred to the Explosive Bull Routine, began to use the foul smelling feces gas and explosive flames to attack these parasitic insects.
The explosion was accompanied by flames, and the sickening barbecue-like aroma ravaged the mushroom's sense of smell.
You killed the parasite.
You killed the parasite.
【…】
Each parasite provided Niu Niu with nearly twenty grams of wax. In just a short while, Niu Niu harvested nearly three hundred grams of wax.
"Hurry up, Mushroom!" Niu Niu did not forget to call Mushroom to pick up the spoils together.
Seeing this, Mushroom hesitated for a moment, then took out a splash potion with a poisoning effect and began to harvest these clustered parasitic insects.
However, even though the two had tried their best to kill the monsters, the area of this forest of bones was too large, and countless parasitic insects still completed their goals.
Gurgling.
Right next to Niu Niu, a meat paste wrapped by parasitic worms was rolling in the direction the girl had moved before, leaving a trail of black blood along the way.
“These bugs are crazy.”
"It must be because you killed that NPC."
Mushroom sighed as he brushed the parasites.
"At worst, I can just reset it. I've already made back my investment, and even made some money."
"...I won't kill her next time." Niu Niu said after hesitating for a moment.
"Stop gossiping and work harder!"
Niu Niu urged again.
Hearing this, Mushroom didn't say anything more.
I have to say, this wax oil is really efficient.
In just a short while, Niu Niu had accumulated nearly a thousand bottles of wax.
And I have saved more than 500 mushrooms, and the price is still rising.
This even made the smell of burnt meat, which originally disgusted the mushrooms, not so disgusting.
thump—
Just when the two of them were brushing hard.
Along with the shaking of the earth, a dull stomping sound was heard, which made people's hearts tremble involuntarily.
The two had just finished clearing out the parasites in front of them and were planning to look elsewhere.
But this sudden and huge noise made the two of them stop involuntarily.
"WTF?"
Mushroom was startled.
"It's probably the effect of killing NPCs." Niu Niu was not surprised.
After taking a look at the parasites in other places, he decisively gave up on applying wax.
"Don't swipe the mushrooms, get on the horse, and be careful. Don't die too quickly. It's best to see what's going on."
After Niu Niu finished speaking, he jumped on his horse and after searching for a while, he headed towards a small slope, trying to see the source of the huge noise from a high point.
“…He’s really good at making trouble.”
Mushroom sighed. It was tiring to go through the dungeon with this kid Niu Niu.
Afterwards, he also summoned the Candlefire Spirit Horse and followed Niu Niu's pace.
thump... thump...
The shaking of the earth did not stop, but became heavier.
The two soon reached the top of the slope.
Here, they finally saw the source of the sound.
This is an extremely huge monster.
It has a huge head with tentacles hanging from its lower jaw. Its body is made up of black and red flesh, its shell is formed by bones, and at its joints are wriggling parasites.
【Hosting the Bone and Blood Colossus】
[Grade: Burning Charcoal]
【Level: 35】
【War:?】
【talent:?】
【Skill:? 】
[Description: Infected by alien forces, it is formed by innocent flesh and blood, and a crazy host remains within it.]
"Damn, a bunch of question marks... and they're so big!"
Looking at the huge body of the monster, Niu Niu felt a little scalp-tingling. This was the first time they had seen such a huge monster in this game.
"It's coming this way!"
Mushroom frowned.
A sharp laugh came from the terrifying big mouth of the Parasitic Bone and Blood Colossus. It used its hands and its lower jaw tentacles to pick up one parasitic insect meat ball after another from the ground, threw them into its mouth and began to chew them in big mouthfuls.
And its footsteps did not stop for a moment, and it was obviously heading towards the two of them.
"What, run first?"
Mushroom looked at Niu Niu.
"Why are you running?" Although he was surprised by the size of the opponent, Niu Niu was clearly confident: "It's just a charcoal-level boss. I'll set up the venue, you go lure it over and blow it up directly!"
"alright."
Mushroom didn't say much. Both of them were at a high level and had rich fighting skills and experience. They would not lose their composure when facing such a boss.
Soon, the two began to act quickly.
After a while, the foul smell of feces from the cow spread over a large area.
The mushrooms also successfully lured the host colossus over.
"Bull, do it!"
boom!
Without his reminder, Niu Niu, who had been prepared, directly activated the explosion flame.
In an instant, a large amount of foul-smelling feces under the feet of the Bone and Blood Colossus was instantly ignited and exploded, bursting out with powerful power.
boom!
The flesh was burnt and the black blood evaporated.
The legs of the bone and blood colossus instantly rotted away, and after losing its support, its huge body collapsed with a loud bang.
The opponent's health bar instantly disappeared by nearly one third.
The power of the exploding bull is still as terrifying as ever.
Niu Niu and Mushroom's eyes lit up when they saw this. They ran forward without hesitation and used all kinds of magic potion skills.
However, they seemed to have underestimated the horror of this behemoth.
Another burst of teeth-grinding shrill laughter was heard.
It was accompanied by a strange and distorted sound.
"Outsider, this useless little trick can't kill me!"
"I will...live here forever!"
The sound was like the voices of countless men, women, young and old twisted together, making one's scalp tingle.
After the words fell, the body of the giant statue that hosted bones and blood began to disintegrate rapidly. Countless parasitic insects wrapped in bones and blood turned into a wave of insects and dispersed in all directions.
The next moment, the parasitic bone and blood colossus, whose body had shrunk a lot, stood up from the waves. Mushroom and Niu Niu were already surrounded by countless parasitic insects and could not be defeated even by chopping them off.
Just as the two were struggling to cope, the terrifying bone and blood colossus opened its mouth again.
“It’s really exciting…”
"I haven't seen an outsider for a long time."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will let them fill every part of your body except your brain, providing you with nutrients and allowing you to live forever, here, with me..."
"Finally, I have to thank you for killing her. Now I don't have any weaknesses!"
"Ah... I pay the highest tribute to you, the great being in Tasolomo. Your breath intoxicates me. Everything I have comes from you..."
The guy who controlled the Bone and Blood Colossus seemed to have not seen a living person for a long time. When he saw Niu Niu and Mushroom, his speech was even a little incoherent, which made people feel cold on their backs.
This gave the two of them a sudden shock while they were dealing with the parasites around them.
This doesn't seem to be just a simple boss, he seems to have the ability to think normally?
Is this... an NPC?
